Chateau Gruaud Larose 1999 -
Saint Julien
“An exotic perfume of tapenade, new saddle
leather, damp earth, black currants, cherries,
and smoke jumps from the glass of this
impressive, powerful 1999”

Chateau Latour 1990 - Pauillac
There is plenty of sweet, ripe currant
fruitiness, abundant glycerin, and full body,
but I’m still waiting for that extra nuance of
complexity to emerge. It’s all there, but the
wine still seems to be more monolithic than
one would expect in a wine approaching
19 years of age. It is not the sure-fire winner
I thought it was in its youth, but then again,
I don’t have any reason to doubt that more
complexity will emerge. Anticipated Maturity: 2016-2035.
